Son-Day: "Come Home"

Come Home
Luminate
You're best friends with the word regret
You're afraid that your life's been wasted
So why hope if it's only gonna let you down
You don't think people really change
That you’re a mess and you'll always be the same
And you doubt if you'll ever get it turned around

So you've been running, searching for something
But you're looking in a place you don't belong
It's never too late, you can't outrun grace 
No, Mercy doesn't care what you've done
 
So Come Home
So Come Home

You can try to fix your broken empire
And put bricks on a cracked foundation
But you'd be building castles on the sand
 
There's power in the blood of Jesus
Your Father's screaming  just come home
He's reaching out His hands
So you've been running, searching for something
But you're looking in a place you don't belong
It's never too late, you can't outrun grace
No, Mercy doesn't care what you've done
 
So Come Home
So Come Home

From the shadows, From the wrong roads
From the darkness, From the unknown
To redemption, Something beautiful
To a new love, To new Home
~So Come Home... ~


God Bless

(Royal) Public Service Announcement

An Serious Message From Our Queen

The Gracious Queen Uno would like to take a moment to address a most important topic.
Needless over population of pets.
ESPECIALLY the local Peasant Pooch Patrol Population.

Reba Marie and LadyBelle return home to happy greetings from Mellow and the puppy, after their quick procedures. 

The Queen is glad to publicly report that the local socialized medical coverage for her subjects is well at work.
Royal Kitty or Peasant Pooch, medical care is administered quickly and properly.
Now each of  the Government Employee Basset Peasants Pooch Patrol are now up to date on their procedures.
She is considering contacting OTHER governments and suggesting improvements to THEIR socialized medical coverage for their subjects.

~Please save a life~Spay or Neuter Your Pet~
This message has been approved of by the Queen.

~All Hail Queen Uno~

~Long Live The Queen~

Last year we (happily) had our two female cats fixed, and yesterday I took the two female bassets in and had them done.  

(happy happy joy joy)  

Old basset Mellow, and Uno were done over a decade ago.  

Nice feeling to not have to worry about who is in season and what they are up too.  Reba Marie ( red and white basset) is 6 ish, we had thought about breeding her, but decided to just buy her a baby.  

That baby, LadyBelle (tri-color, mostly red and white spotted), is almost a year and our little travel buddy (Mell and Reba get car sick).  

They went in together, and both stayed at the vet's overnight.  We sure did miss our girls.  

When I picked them up at 8 this morning they were both so happy to see me they loaded themselves, and even though they have stitches, when we stopped at home, they UNLOADED themselves.  

Hubby called twice to see how his girls were.  "Dopey and Happy to be home" I told him.  Currently we have a big rabies problem with skunks, so I'm very thankful we are caught up on our shots too.  Nice to have this done.  Have a super great Tuesday!!  We will.

 

Cats On Tuesday

Son-Day: "Go Light Your Candle"

Go Light Your Candle
Chris Rice


There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home

So carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Cause We are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hepeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world...



~God Bless And Keep You~

Visiting Royality...

Queen Uno was surprised by visiting family this week.

Our most beautiful Queen Uno

This was not pre-approved by the Queen,
and needless to say she was a little frazzled at first. 

The Queen tires quickly of being outside, AND the antics of feline nephew Ichy.

So, being the wise ruler she is,
she delegated the task of personal one on one attention to other family members,

Princess Blu personally entertains Cuz Ichy.

including the peasant pooch patrol, and human servants.
The Queen then retired to her private quarters.
As usual, the Queen knows best.

~All Hail Queen Uno~
~God Save The Queen~


Hubby, sweetly, volunteered me to watch the grands while their mom went and spent some alone time with her husband, who is working out of town.  So, I have three kiddos to watch, AND their kitten, AND their dog.  After I fussed for not being asked first, I admitted I would have said yes anyway.
So, my doggies outside are really enjoying my daughter's heeler/lab mix Kanai, and our kitten Blu is so curious she can't help but play with my daughter's just as curious kitten Ichy.  And of course hubby and  I are enjoying my sweet granddarlings:).
Old cat Uno, is not so impressed, but I know how to make sure her-old-self comes first.  What a sweet beauty is my Uno.

Cold Weather Advisor...

Queen Uno is very concerned about our current cold weather.

But, being the wise old queen she is, she has found a very 'green' way to stay warm here at the castle.

Snuggling.

She suggests you find the fattest, warmest, purrrrrringest creature around.

Tuck in tight around your feline hot pad and dream the cold away. 

Thank goodness grand daugther, Princess Blu, agrees (AND qualifies.)

~Long Live Queen Uno~

~God Save The Queen~

We are currently having an ice storm here in East Texas.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Not pretty, fluffy, white snow.  Nope.  Ugly, gray skys, COLD wind, and slick ice coated ground.  

Yuck.  

Be safe.  Stay warm.   And if you are fortunate enough to have one, snuggle with the one you love.   (Purring optional;)
